Carrot-Zucchini Muffins

Got an unrelenting sweet tooth but trying to meet your nutrition goals? These veggie-packed muffins will beat your cravings and fill you with fibre, vitamin C, antioxidants, and more. Dates, carrots, and applesauce bring natural sugars, while flax and eggs add that all-important protein. The result? A nutrient-dense treat perfect for your packed lunch, on-the-go breakfast, or a healthy pre-workout snack.

If you need a little extra convincing to try our Carrot-Zucchini Muffins, wait until you see how simple this recipe is. All you need is a few ingredients that are probably already lingering in your cupboard—or that you can pick up from your local grocery store—plus a muffin tin and some basic baking tools. You can use another type of orange (like Sumo or Valencia oranges) if the ultra-sweet Cara Cara variety is hard to find near you.

Once you’ve prepared your tin, grated your veg and chopped up the dates and walnuts, mix your dry and wet ingredients separately. Then, fold them together, pour into a greased muffed tin, and wait patiently (this is the hardest part) while your muffins bake. Easy peasy.
